Have No Desire to Inherit the Family Business
Chapter 15
The waiter in charge of serving the dishes was replaced by Antoux. Even Chivalry could not help but complain that the staff here were so careless.
Once again, Antoine placed the plate on the table expressionlessly without making any sound.
He didn't spare any extra glances at the two guests. After saying "please enjoy", he left without looking back, leaving only the back of his straight back.
Edith sneered in her heart.
Antoux was unusually enthusiastic and proactive. How could she not see through his hidden intentions?
You like serving dishes so much?
Fine, then I'll make you serve dishes every day until he kneels in front of me crying and thanking me for my kindness.
Chivalry felt that the girl opposite him was a little gloomy. He thought that it was not to her taste. "Edith, what do you think of this restaurant?"
"The environment is comfortable, the design is unique, the name of the dishes is very innovative, and the food is delicious."
Edith praised herself without batting an eyelid. She paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Unfortunately, the employee I hired was a failure."
Chivalry breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a bad start if he had chosen food that she did not like for the first meal.
"It seems that Edith likes warm service."
"Warm?
Not really, I just don't like people with a straight face. "
The conversation was clearly heard by Antoux, who was outside the private room. He seemed to have foreseen the outcome of being fired in the future.
The dinner ended without any mishap. Edith decisively rejected the knight's offer to send her home.
"Okay, then take care of yourself."
Unable to dissuade Edith, Chivalry touched her head helplessly, as if he could not see her murderous gaze. "I have nothing to do during this period, so I'll be staying in the Republic of Batochia. When the time comes, we'll go to Moratti together.
You can come to me directly if you need anything. If there's anything fun, remember to come to me. "
Edith narrowed her eyes as she stared at the restless hand that was slowly retracting. She finally realized something that she had never taken to heart.
Edith curled the corner of her mouth. She looked at the pair of green eyes that were like a lake and said softly, "Okay."
He complained that she was very ambitious. Was he not?
Three days later.
Chivalry, who was sleeping, was woken up by Edith's phone call. He regretted what he said to Edith before.
The two of them stood at the end of the line. Edith's purpose of this trip was a limited release game. Compared to her energetic appearance, Chivalry, who was speechless, kept yawning.
"Dear, it's four in the morning …"
"I know."
After adjusting her schedule, Edith slept until eleven o 'clock in the evening. Now she was full of energy, and her tone of voice was full of joy.
Chivalry rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it released?"
With a childlike innocent smile, Edith replied gently, "Nine o 'clock."
"…"
Because the game had not yet been released, the line did not move. However, the line was getting longer and longer.
When he thought about the long wait of five hours, the vigilante felt a sense of despair that he had never felt before.
He even began to think about how to persuade Edith to go back. If she wanted it, he would simply snatch it for her.
Swaying between reason and emotion, Chivalry chose to stay and line up with Edith.
In Edith's words, this was only a temporary test!
Since it was boring to wait, Edith decided to sell the game, "This game series is quite fun."
"I haven't played it, but I've heard a little about it."
"Since you're lining up with me, do you want to buy a copy to try it out?"
Edith swiped her phone screen. She was looking up some information. "I heard that the collector's edition of the first game in the series will appear at the You Kexin Auction in September. There are only fifty copies in the world."
A keyword piqued Chivalry's interest. After that, the Phantom Brigade gathered all members for an event. The goal was the You Kexin Auction in September.
"You plan to bid?" Chivalry was deep in thought. Didn't this person complain about being poor every day? "Greed.
Island seems to appear at the auction. "
"Island of Greed?"
Edith's face darkened. She looked uninterested and even a little disgusted. "I'm not interested in it."
In 1988, the rich Bartra publicly offered to buy the game for 17 billion rings and 50 billion rings to buy the memory card to break through the game. However, until now, no one was interested. "The Island of Greed" became an undefeated legend in the video game industry.
This game was called "Fantasy Video Game". Whenever it was mentioned, Edith would recall memories.
Yuloka had complained more than once that he was forced to do hard labor by one of the game's producers, Kim Fulix. Edith was heartbroken when she heard that. She almost wanted to arrest this bastard who forced her brother to do hard labor.
Wait a minute, Fulix?
Edith was stunned. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an examinee with the surname Fulix in the Hunter Examination. However, because Kim was replaced by the word "unforgivable bastard" in her heart, she didn't think of it at that time.
Chivalry took in all the changes in Edith's expression. He really couldn't guess her thoughts. "That's a little unexpected."
"It's not that easy to know what I like."
Chivalry wasn't discouraged. Instead, he smiled cheekily. "Then I'll continue to work hard."
"I think you should use this effort on something more meaningful."
Edith didn't believe that Chivalry could know what she liked. She changed the topic. "Are you interested in the Island of Greed?"
"It's okay. Just a little."
"Are you going to participate in the auction?"
"Maybe."
Chivalry didn't answer all of Chivalry's questions. Edith pursed her lips in annoyance. She had answered all of Chivalry's questions properly.
However, speaking of the game console on the Island of Greed, if she remembered correctly, there was one at home.
Back then, as a contribution, Kim casually gave Yuloka a game console. After that, Yuloka gave it to her.
She couldn't remember where she put it at home. After a while, she forgot about the game.
She would look for it when she got home. After all, Yuloka had contributed to the game. She needed to experience her brother's results.
…
On the day of the release of the limited edition game Demonic Immortal Castle, the fans who were waiting for Ica in the live stream were surprised to find that Ica didn't live stream her chicken dinner today!
Since she signed up for an offline competition not long ago, it had been a long time since the live stream of Ica and Surfer Duo had been live streaming.
Everyone was used to this setting. However, this time, Ica calmly opened another game.
"Let's try something different today."
Edith put the disc of the limited edition game that she had just bought into the CD-ROM drive. She rushed home as soon as she paid. "Everyone should have heard of this game series, right?"
[What the f * ck … Isn't this the limited edition game that was released at nine this morning?]
[It's Demonic Immortal Castle!!!!!]
[I'm crying. I didn't get it.
Luckily, Almighty Ica is going to livestream. Let me have a look.]
[Upstairs, round up. Did you see Ica?]
[What time did Ica line up?
I arrived at eight, but I still didn't get it. QAQ]
"I went at four in the morning. Yesterday, I slept until eleven and brought Langlang along."
Edith installed the game while answering the audience's questions. "He might be dying. He went back to sleep first, so I won't bring him with me today."
[Wow!
So they've already met in real life!]
[!!!
@ I Love Paperman Forever]
[Fight!
@ I Love Paperman Forever]
[Am I the only one who feels sorry for Surfer? 23333 Surfer, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Ica's crazy bombardment.]
[Although I feel sorry for Surfer, I still want to win Paperman's heart!
@ I Love Paperman Forever]
The game was quickly installed. Edith clicked on the online mode and asked for Surfer Duo's serial number.
When she entered the serial number, she glanced at the live stream and was amused by everyone's actions.
"Why are you all mentioning Paperman?
Do you know that I'm planning to go online with him? "
As soon as she said that, Paperman entered the live stream to snatch the microphone. At the same time, a line of words popped up on the screen.
"Ahem."
After turning on the microphone, Mi Ji cleared his throat. "I haven't played games with Ica in a long time. Just nice, I got this game too.
Everyone is tired of surfing, right?
It's okay, I'm here to save you! "
[Looking for the psychological trauma of surfing.]
[That's so tragic. Hahahaha!
Surfer accompanied Ica to line up to buy the game in the early hours of the morning, but she went to play it with Paperman.]
[Why is my opinion different from yours?
Think about it carefully. Surfer can't come to the live stream after catching up on his sleep. That's why he found Paperman. That means Paperman is a substitute!]
[Then why didn't Ica eat chicken with Paperman?
Or play other games?
The person above has exposed his team!]
[Ica is mine!!!!]
The first trial of the new game was over. Edith and Mi Ji had figured out the game's internal world and some hidden operations. Today's live stream was over.
After exiting the live stream, Edith checked the income for the day and sighed.
The income was very unstable every day. Her popularity had reached the ceiling. What was left were a group of regular fans and a group of passers-by fans that kept changing.
The day of the highest income for the month was the first day she came back from the Hunter Examination. Because she had been offline for too long, her fans' enthusiasm exploded instantly.
However, because she had not streamed for almost half a month, the income for the month of January was not very impressive. It was only about a million rings.
However, the limited edition game Demonic Fairy Castle that she just bought was priced at 500,000 rings.
Edith sighed. She took out her phone and sent a message. She decided to complain to her friends who she had not contacted since she left home.
[To
Machi:
The world is not worth it.]
Machi was a friend that Edith had known for about two to three years. She was a member of the notorious Phantom Brigade. However, she was a petite and cute girl who was usually quiet.
The opportunity for the two of them to meet could be considered a coincidence. Thanks to the good fortune of an abnormal member of her group, the two of them, whose personalities were poles apart, gradually became familiar with each other. They actually got along quite well.
As long as the two sides did not touch the interests of Dolores or the Phantom Brigade, this relationship could be maintained.
The reply was very fast. She did not even wait for a few seconds before her phone vibrated.
[… Did something happen?
From
Machi:]
The content of the reply was still in line with Machi's style as usual.
[To
Machi:
More or less.
I encountered a lot of things. Although they were all within the scope of what I could handle, they were really annoying … How about you?
How have you been?]
However, the next message from Machi stunned Edith.
[Herrault is dead.
From
Machi:]
Edith's fingers froze on the screen. She wanted to reply indifferently as usual, but she could not type a complete sentence.
She stared at the line of words so hard that it seemed like she was going to burn a hole in the screen.
No way?
